Qualitative findings from a randomized trial of mindfulness-based and cognitive-behavioral group therapy for opioid-treated chronic low back pain.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to compare the qualitative outcomes of mindfulness-based group therapy (MBT) and cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBT-CP) in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Results Summary
The study qualitatively analyzed participant responses to assess how MBT and CBT-CP affected their lives or health, with between-groups comparisons to evaluate differences in treatment response. A majority of participants reported positive effects, though specific outcomes were not detailed in the abstract.

This article reports qualitative outcomes from a randomized controlled trial comparing eight weeks of cognitive-behavioral group therapy for chronic pain (CBT-CP) and mindfulness-based group therapy (MBT) in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Approximately 10 months post-treatment, 108 participants completed structured qualitative interviews to express how the study treatment affected their life or health. Responses were qualitatively analyzed to generate a set of themes and subthemes, with between-groups comparisons to evaluate differences (if any) in treatment-response between MBT and CBT-CP. A majority of participants (
